noy Julv 29.-Mr Balfour has proclaimed
.ouare inch of Ireland under the Coercion
~. md this Notwithstanding HIS pledge before
...osure ae' became law that it should be ap-
,.a onlv TO those ve.y few districts In whioh
y.s,isn crime was saii to DO prevalent. Ine
s;.rna of Coercion has now been cast. upon coun-
.s,s like Louth. where not single agrariah onehoo
a. been reported by the police for hair yoar
nd like Kilkenny, where the sole ts;t'ap Z.
,sre for quarter was one threatening letter; anu
toclties like Drogheda, where the judge AZ inc
last Asszcs was presented with white gloves; anu
ike Cork. which even Judge OBrien admitted 70
be one of the most peaceful and orderly citie' In
~. tbree kingdoms. All this, however. is more
hsfsm Jalmen. 1t would be too absurd not 10 man
,ome show of using an act after spending iour
months in a violent effort to make It.
Rut IL will depend on the shape fp whicn 'n''
,sssent Land bill eaerges from Parliament ana inc
mauuer In which it will be administered afterwara
vbether the famous Coercion Tor ever ao'
nil ever be really put in force. lnere "
ereat deal of good in the Land bill since the uoV-
,omsnt have transformed it almost into the snape
~ Mr. parnelrs bill of last autumn; but IL con-
t.ns one clause which may prove to be as the armed
nan in tho wooden horse of Troy. This Is clause
N enable the landlord to deprive the tenant OF
bis title by means of notice served by registered
LITER and it would if 1t were devised, not
merely for the purpose OF avoiding 'he
.a;um which the present system OF
eviction has begun to bring upon
she landlord cause. but also for the purpose OF
.trikips blow at the system Of dual ownership
,ated by the land act of 1884, in view OF the land
nurcbase scheme which the Government
ere certainly incubating and which they
are desirous of making as favorable to the
landlord as possible Gladstone's Land Act raised
the tenant to the status of co-proprietor In his
holdings as the law stands Before that status
ean be destroyed the tenant must oe
eyicted and as eviction is costly
and difficult step there is now In most cases
considerable hesitation and considerable oppor-
tnuity for negotiation before 1t Is resorted TO-
Under the new system tho landlord Is to be en-
powered to destroy the tenants status by the t"o
pennypost, a step involving neither d'hcuty MOI
expense. This may prove simple ana enecti'e
way of robbiug the tenant of his holding created
for him by the act of 1881. 1t remains to be seen
whether the dangers threatened By this clause VIII
not outweigh the benefits OF the bill. Moreover IL
will be possible. by placing in control OF tue ne"
reptrevsina courts q set If landlord partisaps' 10
asmuletely nulIify its beneficial provisions
ghouId that be the case We shall have trouble In
Iieland, and Mr.. BafOur, If this Government lives
shat long, will have to ply his Coercion Act In
earnest. Meanwhile everything depends.
The suspension of Mr. Heay and the attempted
surpeusion of Mr. Tanner for heated language bring
,pto relief the latest device of the Tory party for
bringing odum on the Irish members. AS the
Chairman Of Committee confirmed Sir william
Harcourt in saying last night, systematic attempt
TO insult and goad the Irish members Is practised
avery evening by the Tories sitting opposite. The
object is to draw" as the phrase is the lrshmen
who are proverbially hot-blo0ded aud quick to
resent an injury. Then these chivalrous English
eentlemen seize on the words OF the lrishmans
angry retort and complain Of them to the speaker.
The Government moves tho offenders suspension,
and The Times next morning exploits the occur
renee as another specimen of Irish rowdyism.
Meanwhile, as If TO show how little effect all
these contemplate tricks have upon the public
mind in England, the LIberalUnonists on We'd
pesday at private meeting agreed that the great
et damage done to the Cuionist at the recent
BYE elections was done by the presence and the
spceches of irish members. and they accordingly
vso ved to initiate their tactics at future contests
A Radical conference vas held on Wednesday to
consider how the English people should best help
their Irish brethren to ght the Coercion Act IL
was resolved that a contingent OF members ana
representative men should visit Ireland when the
act began to be administered in order to be able on
their return to report what they saw to English
meetings. and thus bring the full light of public
opinion to bear on the dpings of the Coercionists.
